Site design approach
Clean information presentation
Decorative, Themed elements on periphery or less visual priority than message
Selective elements should be high thematic impact - Logo, Hero - Showcase elements
Coggy details might be fun to try - steampunk cursors, UI elements - would have to explore
Thematic animation that doesn't get in the way, or distract (unless in showcase context)
Experience Objectives: Inform & Delight
'Less, but Better' approach to scope for Fall 2026. 3 'amazing' pages is preferred over 20 'middling, forgettable' pages.
